Fully expected this response from you.
Obviously, every GM is familiar with the players on other teams. However, there is a difference between familiar with other teams' players, and being ready to sign a kid (who has played the Bruins at most 4 or 5 times) to a 7 year contract.
And yes, GMs consult with their scouts. Unfortunately, Chiarelli fired a bunch of his.
But the primary point is that the
organization would have been behind this. That is the really scathing thing about this contract - it screams of the old-regime, we LOVE our own prospects crap that we have seen up there for years.
